Ascents in Australia by sean

Consistently climbing into crux then losing it. Finished it off after a rest but not enough juice in the tank to do it in one. Lower section to last bolt certainly a 22 but be ready for a leap in difficulty through the crux!

another no-style dogfest to get the draws down at the end of the day for a mate. lazy beggar.

bitched and whined my way up at the end of a very long day on fuck the law to get the draws down. individual moves very fun.

Prior comments referring to a one move wonder pretty much say it all. Still a great feeling to get the top though.

Warm down. Went way too far right, it got a little blank, started wondering how it was a 16 and screwed a foot placement. Turns out the boulder on the left is in, then it was a 16 again. whoops! Good slab practice for the uninitiated.

Took a bit, but figured out the beta. Will be back with more time next time.

Just plain good fun. Favourite route at Stathams to date.

A good 19 and well worth the glued on holds (only in the Perth quarry's!). Adequate rests to keep the pump at bay while figuring out some of the more cryptic moves through the second half. Had fun on this one.

Discontinuous and covered in dirt. I managed to miss a bolt or two - covered in weeds perhaps. The only shining moment is the face climb at the top which was pretty fun. Heinous rope drag for the last clip and anchors. A 70m rope got me back down by stretch alone - middle marker on the rope was beyond the first bolt when I was at the anchors.

Good warmup. The swing out to the face of the left boulder might feel more troubling that it actually is. Big glued holds don't look like they're going anywhere.

The start is fun until the second bolt and I run out of ideas.

Tried for the onsight, got past the crux (crimps and small, technical feet - didn't need to mantle, amidoinitwrong?), but fell on the way to the anchors after getting off-balance. Mega bummed. Shouldn't have rushed. Finished it on the dog, will be back for the redpoint. Wicked route with fantastic crimp sequences all the way up. Has earnt its rep as a classic.

Enjoyable climb. Reach a little higher at the crux for a decent hold and your home and hosed.

Fun climb and lots of opportunity to rest after every bolt. Not bad.

Avoid using the left face - plenty of loose rocks waiting to take out your belayer.

Runout, plenty of friction.

Fun compression moves at the start but the mantle with high, right foot and slopey crimps at the top held the ascent back.

Really good climb, will be back for the lead ascent soon.

very fun climb, plenty of feet with slight overhang.

First time leading and placing gear. Fun route.
